The Old Mill (Vieux Moulin)

Theodore Robinson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a serene landscape with a dirt road and rustic buildings. The dirt road curves from the bottom center to the right, lined with a wooden fence on both sides. The fence on the left appears more weathered and sparse in some areas. The buildings are situated on the left side, with the largest one having a red roof and a white exterior. The building has multiple windows and a chimney. A smaller building with a similar red roof is positioned behind and to the right of the main building. In the background, a hill rises, covered in greenery and dotted with trees. The sky above is overcast and gray. The overall style of the painting is impressionist. The artist's signature appears in the bottom left corner.
